Pastor Richard's Corner
October 2025
As the seasons change and the leaves turn here in the mountains, we’re reminded that God’s faithfulness never changes. October is a month of harvest, of gathering, and of gratitude. It’s a season when we can slow down, breathe in the crisp air, and reflect on the goodness of God in every circumstance.
​
The Apostle Paul wrote from prison, “I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am” (Philippians 4:11). That kind of contentment doesn’t come from comfort or ease — it comes from Christ. Whether we’re walking through abundance or need, joy or trial, Jesus Himself is our strength and our sufficiency.
​
My encouragement for you this month is simple: practice contentment. Take time to notice the small blessings God provides each day — the warmth of a cup of coffee, the beauty of a sunrise, the laughter of a friend, the peace of knowing you are His child. As we learn to count our blessings, we’ll discover that the Lord truly is enough.
​
May this October be a season where our hearts overflow with thanksgiving, our lives reflect contentment, and our eyes remain fixed on the One who provides all we need.
Gratefully in Christ,
Pastor Dez
